No place is more synonymous with adventure, extremes and untouched wilderness. Though rumored to exist even among the ancient Greeks, Antarctica had no documented sightings by humans until 1820. History's most intrepid expeditions penetrated its inner reaches a little over a century ago. Today, Antarctica's white wonders are within reach of anyone with an explorer's spirit. Our small expedition ships designed for polar cruising navigate among colossal icebergs, giant whales and elephant seals, while hundreds of thousands of penguins and other seabirds congregate ashore, nesting and nurturing their young in the endless light of a southern summer. Antarctica arguably supersedes any place on Earth in provoking a traveler's awe, and it does so no less now than for Shackleton or Amundsen.\nThe National Geographic Resolution in Paradise Harbour, Antarctica\nNathan Kelley\nAerial view of the National Geographic Endurance near Antarctica\nCrabeater seal, Antarctica.\nIcebergs in National Geographic-Lindblad Cove, Antarctica.\nHumpback whale fluke, Antarctica.\nArctic tern, Antarctica.\nGuests in Zodiac photograph humpback whale, Yalour Islands, Antarctica.\nSunset over icebergs, Antarctica.\nNational Geographic Resolution, Cuverville Island, Antarctica.\nGentoo mother and baby penguins, Pleneau Island, Antarctica.\nGuests in Zodiac cruise past an iceberg arch, Antarctica.\nGuests in Zodiac view chinstrap penguins, Antarctica.\nThe Ultimate Wilderness Experience\nSail aboard a premier expedition ship designed for polar waters, and cross the Drake Passage to reach the sheltered seas of the Antarctic Peninsula\nClose Encounters with Prolific Wildlife\nGet close to penguins, seals, whales and seabirds on motorized Zodiac excursions and walks ashore, led by seasoned naturalist guides\nTravel with Top Polar Experts\nLearn about historic polar exploration, contemporary international research, and the quest to conserve the planet's last great wilderness\nSail with the World Leader in Conservation-Focused Small Ship Cruising\nWe’re proud to offer a worldwide slate of Expedition Cruises through National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions. Through our relationship with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, we are able to expand our nature travel offerings to our guests, with the opportunity to book directly through Nat Hab. Founded in 1958 by Lars-Eric Lindblad, the company pioneered eco-conscious expeditions for “citizen explorers\" and today is the world leader in conservation-focused small-ship cruises. Our Adventure Specialists are intimately familiar with the ships and itineraries and are on call to answer any questions you might have.\nSmall Ships Assure Closer Nature Encounters\nMeaningful nature adventures can’t happen in big crowds. National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions ships offer an exhilarating, up-close experience of the southern ice and the abundant wildlife of Antarctica. Their small size makes them nimble enough to access protected coves and channels that big ships can’t reach, while full stabilization and state-of-the-art technology make them exceptionally safe. The ship you sail aboard will depend upon the itinerary and departure you choose. Each polar vessel offers personal access to naturalists, lecturers, staff and crew.\nBenefit from Decades of Expertise\nThis is a genuine expedition-style experience aboard an authentic expedition ship with a seasoned polar adventure team. Pioneers in opening Antarctica to civilian travelers in 1966, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions draws upon more than a half-century of experience navigating polar seas, assuring safe passage in one of Earth's wildest settings. You’ll benefit from traveling with a company whose stellar reputation has been carefully earned over decades.\nMultiple Tools for Immersive Expedition Travel\nA fleet of 13 Zodiacs and 32 double kayaks facilitate close-up exploration of Antarctica’s icy landscapes and abundant wildlife. Come eye level with penguins, leopard seals, marine mammals and floating ice along the bays and coastlines of the Antarctic Peninsula. A mobile platform enables fast, safe deployment of kayaks within minutes of finding an anchorage. Led by veteran Expedition Leaders, hikes and activities on shore are offered at a variety of physical exertion levels. A remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) and undersea interpretive specialist give passengers a rare opportunity to view Antarctica’s seldom-seen underwater world. An onboard National Geographic-certified photography instructor helps you get your best shots.\nSee the Undersea\nUnique to National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, each voyage includes an undersea specialist who suits up for polar waters, dives to capture vivid HD video footage, and shares it on plasma screens in the ship’s lounge. Going even deeper, the ship’s hydrophone lets passengers listen in on whales while a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) capable of exploring depths up to 1,000 feet films the places where no diver can go. The ROV and polar dives provide a rare journey into the virtually unknown Antarctic undersea, while you enjoy the underwater expedition from a warm and dry spot on board. For the bird’s eye view, a remote-controlled crow’s nest camera broadcasts real-time footage on individual cabin video screens.\nSail with Top Experts Who Specialize in Antarctica\nExplore Antarctica with a passionate team of experts whose knowledge will enhance your adventure and your understanding of our polar environs. Travel with an Expedition Leader, eight veteran naturalists, a National Geographic-certified photographer, an undersea specialist, expert guest speakers, a video chronicler and a wellness specialist. Your guide team specializes in Antarctica, from wildlife biologists to ornithologists, marine scientists and polar historians.\nWe’re Committed to the Planet\nNatural Habitat Adventures is a standard-setter in eco-conscious travel. We were the world’s first 100% carbon-neutral travel company. And we continue to break innovative ground in adopting practices that help to protect our global environment. Because of our concern for the environment, we are pleased to partner with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions to provide Expedition Cruises, a company that shares our values and commitment to the planet.\nNatural Habitat Adventures is WWF's Travel Partner\nBecause of our environmental commitment and the outstanding quality of our adventures, World Wildlife Fund has chosen Natural Habitat Adventures as its worldwide travel partner, a designation we’re very proud of! When you book your National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions cruise with us, a portion of your trip fee supports WWF.","attrs_markdown":"[![World Wildlife Fund Logo Image](https:\/\/www.nathab.com\/assets\/images\/logos\/logo-wwf.png) Natural Habitat Adventures](https:\/\/www.nathab.com\/)\n\n[Terra & Tu

Antarctica arguably supersedes any place on Earth in provoking a traveler's awe, and it does so no less now than for Shackleton or Amundsen.\n\nClose\n\n![The National Geographic Resolution in Paradise Harbour, Antarctica](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/1mle4fbytmpl\/4O67IrFXUYFBjII6IT5k6L\/9539623c29bc763c2bf4ecf51c3cd8bf\/JourneyWhiteContinent_LEX-Antarctica_Paradise-Harbour_ANT21-1426.jpg?w=800&fm=webp)\n\n![Aerial view of the National Geographic Endurance near Antarctica](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/1mle4fbytmpl\/3fVBHZcl0pXugeMraKdYtX\/54853a7119bc25da8ede900f6190dd00\/JourneyWhiteContinent_LEX-Antarctica-13.jpg?w=800&fm=webp)\n\n![Crabeater seal, Antarctica.](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/1mle4fbytmpl\/7bYu3eEBYwG90Z3Lqk8kRt\/f6a9aa71dbae62aaf9bd7c2933f31c4f\/shutterstock_72803293.jpg?w=800&fm=webp)\n\n![Icebergs in National Geographic-Lindblad Cove, Antarctica.](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/1mle4fbytmpl\/5Ofw8DYsLh3SDkfaQx1oVO\/7ed9c1f3671381686cc96bca0fd6d442\/AA441.jpg?w=800&fm=webp)\n\n![Humpback whale fluke, Antarctica.](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/1mle4fbytmpl\/kSAfB0AM1zI45RjNjiVse\/6b46feced67df7f809b968b2c02c220e\/shutterstock_143616385.jpg?w=800&fm=webp)\n\n![Arctic tern, Antarctica.](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/1mle4fbytmpl\/4kNsnAGaXBLb8fNq7Nye5B\/9cb1e26dbfe2b221655299e7004c3986\/shutterstock_208123147.jpg?w=800&fm=webp)\n\n![Guests in Zodiac photograph humpback whale, Yalour Islands, Antarctica.](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/1mle4fbytmpl\/67Ov75WHmbh88QCYr5KVgG\/99d5fb4c667d08b25a769642b1f0386f\/AA284.jpg?w=800&fm=webp)\n\n![Sunset over icebergs, Antarctica.](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/1mle4fbytmpl\/10DSsC2TY79GtCxOS9kTne\/64083cce393e80db21ab67e9f346a6f8\/AA306.jpg?w=800&fm=webp)\n\n![National Geographic Resolution, Cuverville Island, Antarctica.](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/1mle4fbytmpl\/5s46irUCqXTV7mvBRHYthh\/27b5e8b526d96c0fa1997f1d0f3cb1e4\/Large_20RGB-LEX-Antarctica_20Cuverville_20Island_20ANT21_2018337.jpg?w=800&fm=webp)\n\n![Gentoo mother and baby penguins, Pleneau Island, Antarctica.](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/1mle4fbytmpl\/qME33yC6ZXBZ5dcDvizjW\/417cb03b9928914b5fb30f357d9c8e10\/AA315.jpg?w=800&fm=webp)\n\n![Guests in Zodiac cruise past an iceberg arch, Antarctica.](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/1mle4fbytmpl\/I12joQBBdS0xIQzOBrnWd\/6c6e2660d2525c767c02289926239f4d\/12-Classic-Antarctica.jpg?w=800&fm=webp)\n\n![Guests in Zodiac view chinstrap penguins, Antarctica.](https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/1mle4fbytmpl\/4AcwxMOdwbAp1WUfCvH7jN\/3c50b2364a26c306e4b132875ba7c385\/AA077a.jpg?w=800&fm=webp)\n\nThe National Geographic Resolution in Paradise Harbour, Antarctica\n\nNathan Kelley\n\nAerial view of the National Geographic Endurance near Antarctica\n\nCrabeater seal, Antarctica.\n\nIcebergs in National Geographic-Lindblad Cove, Antarctica.\n\nHumpback whale fluke, Antarctica.\n\nArctic tern, Antarctica.\n\nGuests in Zodiac photograph humpback whale, Yalour Islands, Antarctica.\n\nSunset over icebergs, Antarctica.\n\nNational Geographic Resolution, Cuverville Island, Antarctica.\n\nGentoo mother and baby penguins, Pleneau Island, Antarctica.\n\nGuests in Zodiac cruise past an iceberg arch, Antarctica.\n\nGuests in Zodiac view chinstrap penguins, Antarctica.\n\nShow More Photos\n\nThe Ultimate Wilderness Experience\n\nSail aboard a premier expedition ship designed for polar waters, and cross the Drake Passage to reach the sheltered seas of the Antarctic Peninsula\n\nClose Encounters with Prolific Wildlife\n\nGet close to penguins, seals, whales and seabirds on motorized Zodiac excursions and walks ashore, led by seasoned naturalist guides\n\nTravel with Top Polar Experts\n\nLearn about historic polar exploration, contemporary international research, and the quest to conserve the planet's last great wilderness\n\n##\n### Sail with the World Leader in Conservation-Focused Small Ship Cruising\n![World Wildlife Fund Logo Image](https:\/\/www.nathab.com\/assets\/images\/logos\/logo-wwf.png)\n\nWe’re proud to offer a worldwide slate of Expedition Cruises through National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions. Through our relationship with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, we are able to expand our nature travel offerings to our guests, with the opportunity to book directly through Nat Hab. Founded in 1958 by Lars-Eric Lindblad, the company pioneered eco-conscious expeditions for “citizen explorers\" and today is the world leader in conservation-focused small-ship cruises. Our Adventure Specialists are intimately familiar with the ships and itineraries and are on call to answer any questions you might have.\n\n1. **Small Ships Assure Closer Nature Encounters**   \n    Meaningful nature adventures can’t happen in big crowds. National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions ships offer an exhilarating, up-close experience of the southern ice and the abundant wildlife of Antarctica. Their small size makes them nimble enough to access protected coves and channels that big ships can’t reach, while full stabilization and state-of-the-art technology make them exceptionally safe. The ship you sail aboard will depend upon the itinerary and departure you choose. Each polar vessel offers personal access to naturalists, lecturers, staff and crew.\n2. **Benefit from Decades of Expertise**  \n    This is a genuine expedition-style experience aboard an authentic expedition ship with a seasoned polar adventure team. Pioneers in opening Antarctica to civilian travelers in 1966, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions draws upon more than a half-century of experience navigating polar seas, assuring safe passage in one of Earth's wildest settings. You’ll benefit from traveling with a company whose stellar reputation has been carefully earned over decades.\n3. **Multiple Tools for Immersive Expedition Travel**   \n    A fleet of 13 Zodiacs and 32 double kayaks facilitate close-up exploration of Antarctica’s icy landscapes and abundant wildlife. Come eye level with penguins, leopard seals, marine mammals and floating ice along the bays and coastlines of the Antarctic Peninsula. A mobile platform enables fast, safe deployment of kayaks within minutes of finding an anchorage. Led by veteran Expedition Leaders, hikes and activities on shore are offered at a variety of physical exertion levels. A remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) and undersea interpretive specialist give passengers a rare opportunity to view Antarctica’s seldom-seen underwater world. An onboard National Geographic-certified photography instructor helps you get your best shots.\n4. **See the Undersea**  \n    Unique to National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, each voyage includes an undersea specialist who suits up for polar waters, dives to capture vivid HD video footage, and shares it on plasma screens in the ship’s lounge. Going even deeper, the ship’s hydrophone lets passengers listen in on whales while a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) capable of exploring depths up to 1,000 feet films the places where no diver can go. The ROV and polar dives provide a rare journey into the virtually unknown Antarctic undersea, while you enjoy the underwater expedition from a warm and dry spot on board. For the bird’s eye view, a remote-controlled crow’s nest camera broadcasts real-time footage on individual cabin video screens.\n5. **Sail with Top Experts Who Specialize in Antarctica**  \n    Explore Antarctica with a passionate team of experts whose knowledge will enhance your adventure and your understanding of our polar environs. Travel with an Expedition Leader, eight veteran naturalists, a National Geographic-certified photographer, an undersea specialist, expert guest speakers, a video chronicler and a wellness specialist. Your guide team specializes in Antarctica, from wildlife biologists to ornithologists, marine scientists and polar historians.\n6. **We’re Committed to the Planet**  \n    Natural Habitat Adventures is a standard-setter in eco-conscious travel. We were the world’s first 100% carbon-neutral travel company. And we continue to break innovative ground in adopting practices that help to protect our global environment. Because of our concern for the environment, we are pleased to partner with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions to provide Expedition Cruises, a company that shares our values and commitment to the planet.\n7. **Natural Habitat Adventures is WWF's Travel Partner**\n   Because of our environmental commitment and the outstanding quality of our adventures, World Wildlife Fund has chosen Natural Habitat Adventures as its worldwide travel partner, a designation we’re very proud of! When you book your National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions cruise with us, a portion of your trip fee supports WWF.\n\n-

Through our relationship with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, we are able to expand our nature travel offerings to our guests, with the opportunity to book directly through Nat Hab. Founded in 1958 by Lars-Eric Lindblad, the company pioneered eco-conscious expeditions for “citizen explorers\" and today is the world leader in conservation-focused small-ship cruises. Our Adventure Specialists are intimately familiar with the ships and itineraries and are on call to answer any questions you might have.\n\n1. **Small Ships Assure Closer Nature Encounters**   \n    Meaningful nature adventures can’t happen in big crowds. National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions ships offer an exhilarating, up-close experience of the southern ice and the abundant wildlife of Antarctica. Their small size makes them nimble enough to access protected coves and channels that big ships can’t reach, while full stabilization and state-of-the-art technology make them exceptionally safe. The ship you sail aboard will depend upon the itinerary and departure you choose. Each polar vessel offers personal access to naturalists, lecturers, staff and crew.\n2. **Benefit from Decades of Expertise**  \n    This is a genuine expedition-style experience aboard an authentic expedition ship with a seasoned polar adventure team. Pioneers in opening Antarctica to civilian travelers in 1966, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions draws upon more than a half-century of experience navigating polar seas, assuring safe passage in one of Earth's wildest settings. You’ll benefit from traveling with a company whose stellar reputation has been carefully earned over decades.\n3. **Multiple Tools for Immersive Expedition Travel**   \n    A fleet of 13 Zodiacs and 32 double kayaks facilitate close-up exploration of Antarctica’s icy landscapes and abundant wildlife. Come eye level with penguins, leopard seals, marine mammals and floating ice along the bays and coastlines of the Antarctic Peninsula. A mobile platform enables fast, safe deployment of kayaks within minutes of finding an anchorage. Led by veteran Expedition Leaders, hikes and activities on shore are offered at a variety of physical exertion levels. A remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) and undersea interpretive specialist give passengers a rare opportunity to view Antarctica’s seldom-seen underwater world. An onboard National Geographic-certified photography instructor helps you get your best shots.\n4. **See the Undersea**  \n    Unique to National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, each voyage includes an undersea specialist who suits up for polar waters, dives to capture vivid HD video footage, and shares it on plasma screens in the ship’s lounge. Going even deeper, the ship’s hydrophone lets passengers listen in on whales while a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) capable of exploring depths up to 1,000 feet films the places where no diver can go. The ROV and polar dives provide a rare journey into the virtually unknown Antarctic undersea, while you enjoy the underwater expedition from a warm and dry spot on board. For the bird’s eye view, a remote-controlled crow’s nest camera broadcasts real-time footage on individual cabin video screens.\n5. **Sail with Top Experts Who Specialize in Antarctica**  \n    Explore Antarctica with a passionate team of experts whose knowledge will enhance your adventure and your understanding of our polar environs. Travel with an Expedition Leader, eight veteran naturalists, a National Geographic-certified photographer, an undersea specialist, expert guest speakers, a video chronicler and a wellness specialist. Your guide team specializes in Antarctica, from wildlife biologists to ornithologists, marine scientists and polar historians.\n6. **We’re Committed to the Planet**  \n    Natural Habitat Adventures is a standard-setter in eco-conscious travel. We were the world’s first 100% carbon-neutral travel company. And we continue to break innovative ground in adopting practices that help to protect our global environment. Because of our concern for the environment, we are pleased to partner with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions to provide Expedition Cruises, a company that shares our values and commitment to the planet.\n7. **Natural Habitat Adventures is WWF's Travel Partner**\n   Because of our environmental commitment and the outstanding quality of our adventures, World Wildlife Fund has chosen Natural Habitat Adventures as its worldwide travel partner, a designation we’re very proud of! When you book your National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions cruise with us, a portion of your trip fee supports WWF.","meta_canonical":null}

Though rumored to exist even among the ancient Greeks, Antarctica had no documented sightings by humans until 1820. History's most intrepid expeditions penetrated its inner reaches a little over a century ago. Today, Antarctica's white wonders are within reach of anyone with an explorer's spirit. Our small expedition ships designed for polar cruising navigate among colossal icebergs, giant whales and elephant seals, while hundreds of thousands of penguins and other seabirds congregate ashore, nesting and nurturing their young in the endless light of a southern summer.

Going even deeper, the ship’s hydrophone lets passengers listen in on whales while a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) capable of exploring depths up to 1,000 feet films the places where no diver can go. The ROV and polar dives provide a rare journey into the virtually unknown Antarctic undersea, while you enjoy the underwater expedition from a warm and dry spot on board. For the bird’s eye view, a remote-controlled crow’s nest camera broadcasts real-time footage on individual cabin video screens.

The name alone is epic. No place is more synonymous with adventure, extremes and untouched wilderness. Though rumored to exist even among the ancient Greeks, Antarctica had no documented sightings by humans until 1820. History's most intrepid expeditions penetrated its inner reaches a little over a century ago. Today, Antarctica's white wonders are within reach of anyone with an explorer's spirit. Our small expedition ships designed for polar cruising navigate among colossal icebergs, giant whales and elephant seals, while hundreds of thousands of penguins and other seabirds congregate ashore, nesting and nurturing their young in the endless light of a southern summer. Antarctica arguably supersedes any place on Earth in provoking a traveler's awe, and it does so no less now than for Shackleton or Amundsen.

Through our relationship with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, we are able to expand our nature travel offerings to our guests, with the opportunity to book directly through Nat Hab. Founded in 1958 by Lars-Eric Lindblad, the company pioneered eco-conscious expeditions for “citizen explorers" and today is the world leader in conservation-focused small-ship cruises. Our Adventure Specialists are intimately familiar with the ships and itineraries and are on call to answer any questions you might have. 1. Small Ships Assure Closer Nature Encounters Meaningful nature adventures can’t happen in big crowds. National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions ships offer an exhilarating, up-close experience of the southern ice and the abundant wildlife of Antarctica. Their small size makes them nimble enough to access protected coves and channels that big ships can’t reach, while full stabilization and state-of-the-art technology make them exceptionally safe. The ship you sail aboard will depend upon the itinerary and departure you choose. Each polar vessel offers personal access to naturalists, lecturers, staff and crew. 2. Benefit from Decades of Expertise This is a genuine expedition-style experience aboard an authentic expedition ship with a seasoned polar adventure team. Pioneers in opening Antarctica to civilian travelers in 1966, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions draws upon more than a half-century of experience navigating polar seas, assuring safe passage in one of Earth's wildest settings. You’ll benefit from traveling with a company whose stellar reputation has been carefully earned over decades. 3. Multiple Tools for Immersive Expedition Travel A fleet of 13 Zodiacs and 32 double kayaks facilitate close-up exploration of Antarctica’s icy landscapes and abundant wildlife. Come eye level with penguins, leopard seals, marine mammals and floating ice along the bays and coastlines of the Antarctic Peninsula. A mobile platform enables fast, safe deployment of kayaks within minutes of finding an anchorage. Led by veteran Expedition Leaders, hikes and activities on shore are offered at a variety of physical exertion levels. A remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) and undersea interpretive specialist give passengers a rare opportunity to view Antarctica’s seldom-seen underwater world. An onboard National Geographic-certified photography instructor helps you get your best shots. 4. See the Undersea Unique to National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, each voyage includes an undersea specialist who suits up for polar waters, dives to capture vivid HD video footage, and shares it on plasma screens in the ship’s lounge. Going even deeper, the ship’s hydrophone lets passengers listen in on whales while a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) capable of exploring depths up to 1,000 feet films the places where no diver can go. The ROV and polar dives provide a rare journey into the virtually unknown Antarctic undersea, while you enjoy the underwater expedition from a warm and dry spot on board. For the bird’s eye view, a remote-controlled crow’s nest camera broadcasts real-time footage on individual cabin video screens. 5. Sail with Top Experts Who Specialize in Antarctica Explore Antarctica with a passionate team of experts whose knowledge will enhance your adventure and your understanding of our polar environs. Travel with an Expedition Leader, eight veteran naturalists, a National Geographic-certified photographer, an undersea specialist, expert guest speakers, a video chronicler and a wellness specialist. Your guide team specializes in Antarctica, from wildlife biologists to ornithologists, marine scientists and polar historians. 6.

Readable Markdown	Discover the Wildlife Wonders of the World's Last Best Wilderness ![Linblad Expeditions - Nat Geo Combined Logo](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/6QGoIk3J22ZY0ZQsPk5O7U/af809fb0e1625a7849475334957898bb/Medium_RGB-LEX-Logo_NG-LEX_Black_RGB_JPG.jpg) Antarctica. The name alone is epic. No place is more synonymous with adventure, extremes and untouched wilderness. Though rumored to exist even among the ancient Greeks, Antarctica had no documented sightings by humans until 1820. History's most intrepid expeditions penetrated its inner reaches a little over a century ago. Today, Antarctica's white wonders are within reach of anyone with an explorer's spirit. Our small expedition ships designed for polar cruising navigate among colossal icebergs, giant whales and elephant seals, while hundreds of thousands of penguins and other seabirds congregate ashore, nesting and nurturing their young in the endless light of a southern summer. Antarctica arguably supersedes any place on Earth in provoking a traveler's awe, and it does so no less now than for Shackleton or Amundsen. ![The National Geographic Resolution in Paradise Harbour, Antarctica](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/4O67IrFXUYFBjII6IT5k6L/9539623c29bc763c2bf4ecf51c3cd8bf/JourneyWhiteContinent_LEX-Antarctica_Paradise-Harbour_ANT21-1426.jpg?w=800&fm=webp) ![Aerial view of the National Geographic Endurance near Antarctica](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/3fVBHZcl0pXugeMraKdYtX/54853a7119bc25da8ede900f6190dd00/JourneyWhiteContinent_LEX-Antarctica-13.jpg?w=800&fm=webp) ![Crabeater seal, Antarctica.](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/7bYu3eEBYwG90Z3Lqk8kRt/f6a9aa71dbae62aaf9bd7c2933f31c4f/shutterstock_72803293.jpg?w=800&fm=webp) ![Icebergs in National Geographic-Lindblad Cove, Antarctica.](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/5Ofw8DYsLh3SDkfaQx1oVO/7ed9c1f3671381686cc96bca0fd6d442/AA441.jpg?w=800&fm=webp) ![Humpback whale fluke, Antarctica.](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/kSAfB0AM1zI45RjNjiVse/6b46feced67df7f809b968b2c02c220e/shutterstock_143616385.jpg?w=800&fm=webp) ![Arctic tern, Antarctica.](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/4kNsnAGaXBLb8fNq7Nye5B/9cb1e26dbfe2b221655299e7004c3986/shutterstock_208123147.jpg?w=800&fm=webp) ![Guests in Zodiac photograph humpback whale, Yalour Islands, Antarctica.](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/67Ov75WHmbh88QCYr5KVgG/99d5fb4c667d08b25a769642b1f0386f/AA284.jpg?w=800&fm=webp) ![Sunset over icebergs, Antarctica.](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/10DSsC2TY79GtCxOS9kTne/64083cce393e80db21ab67e9f346a6f8/AA306.jpg?w=800&fm=webp) ![National Geographic Resolution, Cuverville Island, Antarctica.](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/5s46irUCqXTV7mvBRHYthh/27b5e8b526d96c0fa1997f1d0f3cb1e4/Large_20RGB-LEX-Antarctica_20Cuverville_20Island_20ANT21_2018337.jpg?w=800&fm=webp) ![Gentoo mother and baby penguins, Pleneau Island, Antarctica.](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/qME33yC6ZXBZ5dcDvizjW/417cb03b9928914b5fb30f357d9c8e10/AA315.jpg?w=800&fm=webp) ![Guests in Zodiac cruise past an iceberg arch, Antarctica.](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/I12joQBBdS0xIQzOBrnWd/6c6e2660d2525c767c02289926239f4d/12-Classic-Antarctica.jpg?w=800&fm=webp) ![Guests in Zodiac view chinstrap penguins, Antarctica.](https://images.ctfassets.net/1mle4fbytmpl/4AcwxMOdwbAp1WUfCvH7jN/3c50b2364a26c306e4b132875ba7c385/AA077a.jpg?w=800&fm=webp) The National Geographic Resolution in Paradise Harbour, Antarctica Nathan Kelley Aerial view of the National Geographic Endurance near Antarctica Crabeater seal, Antarctica.

The Ultimate Wilderness Experience Sail aboard a premier expedition ship designed for polar waters, and cross the Drake Passage to reach the sheltered seas of the Antarctic Peninsula Close Encounters with Prolific Wildlife Get close to penguins, seals, whales and seabirds on motorized Zodiac excursions and walks ashore, led by seasoned naturalist guides Travel with Top Polar Experts Learn about historic polar exploration, contemporary international research, and the quest to conserve the planet's last great wilderness ### Sail with the World Leader in Conservation-Focused Small Ship Cruising ![World Wildlife Fund Logo Image](https://www.nathab.com/assets/images/logos/logo-wwf.png) We’re proud to offer a worldwide slate of Expedition Cruises through National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions. Through our relationship with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, we are able to expand our nature travel offerings to our guests, with the opportunity to book directly through Nat Hab. Founded in 1958 by Lars-Eric Lindblad, the company pioneered eco-conscious expeditions for “citizen explorers" and today is the world leader in conservation-focused small-ship cruises. Our Adventure Specialists are intimately familiar with the ships and itineraries and are on call to answer any questions you might have. 1. Small Ships Assure Closer Nature Encounters Meaningful nature adventures can’t happen in big crowds. National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions ships offer an exhilarating, up-close experience of the southern ice and the abundant wildlife of Antarctica. Their small size makes them nimble enough to access protected coves and channels that big ships can’t reach, while full stabilization and state-of-the-art technology make them exceptionally safe. The ship you sail aboard will depend upon the itinerary and departure you choose. Each polar vessel offers personal access to naturalists, lecturers, staff and crew. 2. Benefit from Decades of Expertise This is a genuine expedition-style experience aboard an authentic expedition ship with a seasoned polar adventure team. Pioneers in opening Antarctica to civilian travelers in 1966, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions draws upon more than a half-century of experience navigating polar seas, assuring safe passage in one of Earth's wildest settings. You’ll benefit from traveling with a company whose stellar reputation has been carefully earned over decades. 3. Multiple Tools for Immersive Expedition Travel A fleet of 13 Zodiacs and 32 double kayaks facilitate close-up exploration of Antarctica’s icy landscapes and abundant wildlife. Come eye level with penguins, leopard seals, marine mammals and floating ice along the bays and coastlines of the Antarctic Peninsula. A mobile platform enables fast, safe deployment of kayaks within minutes of finding an anchorage. Led by veteran Expedition Leaders, hikes and activities on shore are offered at a variety of physical exertion levels. A remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) and undersea interpretive specialist give passengers a rare opportunity to view Antarctica’s seldom-seen underwater world. An onboard National Geographic-certified photography instructor helps you get your best shots. 4. See the Undersea Unique to National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, each voyage includes an undersea specialist who suits up for polar waters, dives to capture vivid HD video footage, and shares it on plasma screens in the ship’s lounge. Going even deeper, the ship’s hydrophone lets passengers listen in on whales while a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) capable of exploring depths up to 1,000 feet films the places where no diver can go. The ROV and polar dives provide a rare journey into the virtually unknown Antarctic undersea, while you enjoy the underwater expedition from a warm and dry spot on board. For the bird’s eye view, a remote-controlled crow’s nest camera broadcasts real-time footage on individual cabin video screens. 5. Sail with Top Experts Who Specialize in Antarctica Explore Antarctica with a passionate team of experts whose knowledge will enhance your adventure and your understanding of our polar environs. Travel with an Expedition Leader, eight veteran naturalists, a National Geographic-certified photographer, an undersea specialist, expert guest speakers, a video chronicler and a wellness specialist. Your guide team specializes in Antarctica, from wildlife biologists to ornithologists, marine scientists and polar historians. 6.
